[Dell Streak 7] Mysticales:
Ok YAY I decided to get the Streak 7 vs the Sam Tab. Why? Dual core ftw. That is root and future ready right there. =)

So I will be joining this section too now to see whats up and learn and pass that info on to others too.

Btw for those using the 1 click root. I had to disable my AV (Kaspersky), Used 1.5.5 (not 1.7.0) and SOMETIMES You need to unplug and turn off the streak 7 and back on to try again till it works the root. In the end it will root.

Now to figure out which rom to use..
[Dell Streak 7] naucas:
Good to hear that buddy. actually there is no ROM s, only tweaks. I'm trying the figure about compiling a ROM (porting of course). But, hey, how the DS7 is working for you?
[Dell Streak 7] Mysticales:
Its working well. No regrets and N64 emulator works well on it. =D Also waiting on new custom roms, or more importatly. Debian or some form of Linux. I mean A dual core tablet should be able to perform decently. Or is there something now for Linux?
[Dell Streak 7] puppetcarl:
tried to root mine but my ancient computer wouldn't let me set up with adb
[Dell Streak 7] Mysticales:
It will, if its XP. Just gotta install drivers, reboot, then connect.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xchaos:
I've tried everything that I know of. Re-flashed CM7, wiped cache/dalvik, fixed permissions, cleared data for Google Voice but still no luck. Anyone have any idea how to fix it?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shlongwoodian:
Was it ever working for you? Did it work on your first CM7 install, then stop after an update?

I use Google Voice for my business and I haven't had an issue with it, ever. I've used it since my G1 then through a crappy (free) CliqXT and now on my Glacier (first on stock and now on Ice Glacier v1.1.4).

Can you outline

any

details as to what "is not working"?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xchaos:
Well I never tried it out in stock, but it's never worked with any of the cyanogen mod ROMs. I sign in, it connects to server, and then when the next screen comes where I have to setup my voicemail and stuff it just forcecloses.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shlongwoodian:
I'm running Ice Glacier, so I can't vouch for CM7. Has anyone reported Google Voice not working over on the CM7 thread? Is there anyone that DOES have Google Voice working on CM7?

Search it out and see if you can find any hits...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXy3kXx:
My google voice keeps force closing i have cm7 nightly #8
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shlongwoodian:
There ya go, xchaos. Looks like there's at least one person running CM7 and getting force closes on Google Voice. I'd wait to see if ya get a few more CM7 users that say the same, but it looks like it might just be unique to CM7.

If you search and can verify Google Voice isn't working on CM7 AND if a few more reply back, I'd say it's safe to post on the CM7 thread and/or ask the devs if they can reproduce the issue.

Good luck!

I was reading through the official nightly log and some people have it working but they never experienced any problems to begin with. I'll try posting on the official thread.
[Fascinate General] velocity92c:
I'm very torn on this decision. I am an OG Droid user and have loved it since day 1 but it's time to move on. I use the hardware keyboard quite a bit so switching to a touchscreen only phone is kind of scary, that's the only reason the D2 is even in play here. I know the D2 and DX have locked bootloaders though, which can somewhat limit hacking them, or at least they did the last time I checked several months back. I love hacking my phone, although I know hacking the Galaxy s phones is much harder than hacking my Droid from experience, as my girlfriend has a Vibrant.

I love her phone, it's super slick and super nice which is why I'm leaning towards the Fascinate. Can any former DX or D2 users chime in and tell me what they like better about the Fascinate? I'm concerned that since the Fascinate came out after the rest of the Galaxy S phones that its hacking userbase is smaller (its development section has signifcantly fewer posts than the others). Is Cyanogen available on the Fascinate yet? I noticed sombionix has a Fascinate and is working on development for it, which is great because I put his rom on my girlfriend's phone.

Anyway I'm on the fence and would like help one way or the other. Please post any feedback you have on any of the 3 phones I listed, and why I should pick the Fascinate over the other 2. I'm also considering waiting until the next gen phones come out, I know dual core phones are right around the corner, though I do have 2 upgrades available to me so I guess I don't technically have to wait.
[Fascinate General] TheSonicEmerald:
The Fascinate userbase is smaller than the other GalaxyS phones, but we have tons of devs that are working actively on bringing this phone to its prime. We do have Cyangenmod, although it is a broken port at the moment. The only thing that is restricting us is the lack of avaliability of the Froyo source from Samsung.

I have used the Droid and the Droid X. Not particularly the Droid 2 though. The soft keyboard on the Fascinate and the Droid X is a less accurate and easier to mistype than a physical keyboard, obviously, but the many keyboards avaliable such as the Gingerbread keyboard, Swiftkey, and Swype will make sort keyboarding much easier and maybe even more enjoyable than on a physical one.

In terms of speed, the Droids trump the Fascinate in CPU related tasks. In games, the Fascinate dominates. In media, the Fascinate's extra avaliable codecs are extremely helpful, as I can play avi and move files no problem on the stock video player. The screen is also noticeably more beautiful on the Fascinate, although the Droid X is more than adequate. The extra screen estate on the Droid X is great however. GPS and Signal: Droid X is much better. The Fascinate GPS works, but not as well as even the OG Droid. Signal fluctuates on the Fascinate somewhat.

The Droid X, because of its bootloader, can't flash kernels and can't flash Cyangenmod roms and such. But the roms for it are still great, as well as the themes.

I can say that you can't go wrong with either devices, but if you can, just wait for a dual-core phone to come out. If not, pick from what I've said about each device.

[Fascinate General] ckevinwelch:
I recently went from a D1 to a Fascinate. I considered the DX, but did not like the physical buttons (the reason I moved off the D1 was that my power button broke, and it seemed like more points of failure). I got the D1 the day it launched, first rooted it in February of 2010, and started installing custom ROMs shortly thereafter. I eventually landed on CM, and really like it. I miss CM7, but am excited by the level of work that seems to be going on right now on the Fascinate (I just loaded SFC 2.6 yesterday).

I rooted my Fascinate the night I got it. It took me about three hours (I missed a step the first time), and it is definitely more work than the D1, but once you get the hang of it (and especially once you get Red CW going) it is pretty familiar.

I personally did not consider the D2 because I found I rarely used the physical keyboard. I had been using Swype for the last couple of months on the D1 and was pretty happy with it.

I'm really happy with the screen size ... my D1 feels like a toy now it is so small in comparison.

Good luck!
[Fascinate General] bhfd64:
Since DL30 happened the GPS on my Fascinate has worked flawlessly. Instant lock every single time. A few seconds tops if I'm outside. It also regularly links right up inside my house, and from the bottom floor of my girlfriend's 2 story house! It's come a long way. It's amazing how quickly Fascinate development is flying along right now.
[Fascinate General] 420fan:
I wouldn't even think of a Droid. I love my fascinates feel in my hand, its light and the Devs here kick ass! I am running sc2.6 with the matted blues theme!

The fascinate rocks and not because of Samsung or verizon, but everyone here at XDA!
[Fascinate General] mikeyinid:
I just traded my D2 for a fascinate 4 or 5 days ago. It comes down to personal preference. The fascinate is a better device as far as screen size and quality, but the D2 is superior in every other way. Its nice to have the physical keyboard when your in a hurry and don't want a bunch of typos. The development is alot further too on the D2. The fascinate doesn't even officially have froyo yet. Liberty rom gives you an aosp experience, plus you get the liberty toolbox by jrummy :) there is 12 themes in the latest version of the toolbox that you can flash with the touch of a button.

So like I said, personal preference. I don't hate my fascinate, but I like option to be able to use the keyboard. If your gonna spend money you should wait for the thunderbolt our bionic :)
[Fascinate General] Falcyn:
At this point, I'd find it hard to justify upgrading now even to a currently-top-tier device like the Fascinate or Droid X (particularly if you do 2-year contracts) when so many substantially better new devices are literally right around the corner.

But if you really do want to upgrade now, the best way to look at it is this: the Droid X/Droid 2 are superior phones, while the Fascinate is a superior media device. Which one is "better" totally depends on your own personal needs.
[Fascinate General] piiman:
I have an X and a Fascinate and the X is collecting dust. The Fascinate is just a better fit for my hands and is much lighter and fits in my pocket much better. The X boot loader is a BIG problem if you plan on hacking and Moto is constantly making updates that change the keys so any leaked sbf files are rendered useless. (sbf files are used to recovery moto phones) Moto seems to go out of their way to f with the mod community and for this reason I personally have sworn off moto products until they change their ways.

If you decide you want an X I have one for sale already rooted and running the lasted apex ROM. I can return it to stock though if you want.
[Fascinate General] Phasze:
I personally love my fascinate but I can't recommend it because of lack of updates, specifically to froyo. Even though I like the phone I can't continue to support the company.
[Fascinate General] ziggy484:
Ahhh... eb01 is just as good as an official update, and the fascinate hardware is top shelf. I was in the verizon store the other day, yeah some other phones had froyo but they were cheap looking and feeling. The droid x is ok, but still not as slick as the fascinate. Actually, the iphone is the next best as far as hardware, but i didnt say that :-)

[Fascinate General] theraptscallion:
Falcyn has it right, get the droid if you make lots of voice calls, the fascinate if you game/browse/plau video.

My wife has the D2 because long fingernails and capacitative screens don't mix well, but the device is solid. Reception and voice quality are better on the D2, but its much heavier and unless you're in direct sun, the screen doesn't compare to the fascinate. The wife borrows my phone at night to game on, and swype bridges the gap from the physical keyboard nicely.

Samsung blows as far as support goes, but the devs here are johnny on the spot with leaks, fixes, and roms. If I had to get a new phone today, I would go fascinate again based on gfx hardware, screen beauty, hackability, and audio playback quality. Also, if you put your phone in a pants pocket, fascinate if the way to go due to weight and form factor If I wasn't under the gun for time or lived in a 4g coverage zone, I would gladly wait on the next iteration of handsets.
[Fascinate General] neh4pres:
You say this phone had good audio quality. Is this in comparison to other droids? .. This is my first android, I came from a blackberry storm 2.. And I was very disappointed in the headphone output. The blackberry had far more bass and clarity at low volumes. the fascinate seems to clip bass notes at high volume too.. So it seems as if the audio is under powered.. Any comments?

[Fascinate General] GoogleAndroid:
I went to Verizon with my friend Friday since he wanted a phone and I wanted to go look at the Xoom. He ended up picking the Droid 2(Global, of course.) I noticed that calls sounded much nicer, the external speaker was louder, and it had better reception.

It also had issues. It lagged in CPU-intensive tasks, whereas my Fascinate performed considerably better. It just didn't perform as well in general use, and especially not in gaming. The odd thing is that it scored higher and outperformed the Fascinate in benchmarks. But load screens took longer, and it just wasn't as snappy. The touchscreen isn't as accurate, and Swype is harder to use because of it. And the screen looks awful in comparison. I couldn't go back to an LCD screen on a phone. And the locked bootloader sucks. I'm not sure about the DX, but I'm sure it has similar issues.

While the Droid 2 and Droid X are great phones, but I would go with the Fascinate. It has a better screen, better CPU and GPU, and I find it nicer in general. The keyboard is nice on the D2, the DXs screen is bigger and nice, the GPS, call quality, and reception are better, but overall, I find the Fascinate better than either.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Aneelll:
Hello All,

I am planning to root/unlock my Tmobile G2 and have some questions. But before, below are my details.

Android version : 2.2 (Stock)

Baseband version: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M

Kernal version: 2.6.32.17-g9ab3677 (htc-kernal@and18-2 #1)

Build number: 1.22.531.8 CL277427 release-keys

1) I got this as a used phone so i am not sure if it is S-off or not etc but surely it is not rooted so im guessing it is S-on.

2) What precautions should i take before i go ahead with rooting. Any backups to create etc something like that. (I am going to follow gfree method for rooting / unlocking).

3) If something fails or goes wrong during the process, will factory reset fix the problem or is there a chance that my phone can be bricked while following this method?

4) Also in gfree method , the end step states that run ./gfree -f and then wait for the changes to "take". So will i get any notification that it is done or just should give it some time.? Also the final reboot should be done normally or via any command.(Or will i land up on my homescreen after ./gfree)?

5) Should i perform all the steps required with my keyboard or the onscreen keyboard? (kind of noobish question but i have seen some wierd threads to confuse me)

Any kind of help on these questions will increase my confidence to ahead and try this out as i am completely a newbie to all this and want to be real cautious for this as everyone would normally be. :)

Cheers.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Trainer#1:
Its always a good idea to have a nandroid backup.

Read through the ENTIRE walkthough before beginning.

There is always a chance of bricking but Gfree is pretty darn safe unless you mis-type that one command, and all the guides ive seen say warning when it talks about that line. I used the hard keyboard.

I remember waiting several minutes for the root to "take". Im certain I wait longer than necessary, I play it safe.

G2 is my first android phone, so I was a bit anxious, but it went perfectly. Best of luck!

Edit : I forgot to mention I used the rage gfree method as I believe it is the most reliable. Those who know much more than I said rage is the "cleanest" method.

Methods im going to follow

Thanks all for the reply,

I'm going to use the rage + gfree method for rooting/unlocking mentioned at the below link:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_G2

But i have one question,

1) After running rage as (/data/local/tmp/rage), and after it says "Forked #### childs" etc.

2) Then i have push gfree file and run ./gfree -f

3) The next step is to run "/data/local/tmp/root" and "sync", but the below post says not to run. Also it states a very important step that may brick ur phone if not done correctly which is missing in the above method. "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=834228"

Please help me out with these two conflicting steps! :)

[HTC Inspire 4G] slapdaddy:
AFAIK, the 1.7x based and 1.84 ROMs aren't the stock AT&T ROM for the US Inspire 4G. The 1.80 ROM is the stock AT&T ROM for the US. Please correct me if I'm wrong. :)

Can someone cook up a US AT&T stock-based ROM with working GPS, Wi-Fi, tethering, HSUPA, Sideloading, and a nice performance boost via overclocking? Android Rev runs off of the 1.72 ROM, and Coredroid runs off of 1.84 which aren't based on the stock AT&T ROM and this cause audio issues. Though there is an ongoing effort to fix the audio for the Inspire 4G running these ROMs, wouldn't it be easier to just base a ROM on the 1.80 AT&T ROM and mod it to what we want?

Nice! I went through both root processes....yours and att1's to get used to them. I feel pretty confident in my abilities now to mess with it all. I would have loved to see your ROM with OC added - maybe 1.2GHz and 1.5 or 1.6GHz builds.

But don't take on too much at once man, you don't want to overload yourself. Set a pace and stick to it. :)

Hey bubby I love the work you've been doing for the inspire. All of it is much appreciated by this community. I came over from a captivate and was worried about the dev situation for the inspire. As you don't have your own inspire is love to help test anything you come up. Shoot me a PM if you ever need a tester. I'm not too worried about bricking my device lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
That would be nice. I've been using stock rooted rom because of this. With stock rooted I have no issues. I just removed the bloat myself with root explorer. A custom 1.80 based rom would be nice.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OaG_sGm:
(This is not device specific errors.)

HTC HD7, used for 2 months. From 2 days ago. basically stopped connecting to WiFi networks with NEW names. As soon as taping on the new network, it goes to 'connection unsuccessful' error instantly. (Not even trying to connect), while my other devices working fine on these networks. The phone is actually able to connect to any other wifi network it had previously remembered (SSIDs like linksys, netgear, even other hotel wifis, coffee wifis,). I have tried at least 10 different new wifi network, the phone simply refused to connect..

Note with 'secured network', phone asks for a password, but as soon as taping 'done', error message appearing straight away (connection unsuccessful, note, if typed wrong password, does give a different error, 'invalid password') and ask to retype password. Note, this is not due to wrong password, the password has been thoroughly tested.)

Any ideas?? I have been travelling a lot with my phone these two months. Like 10 different cities...imagine the number of wifi profiles saved in my phone?? like 100+?? The windows phone give up on me?? Comeon....my iphone has not done that in 3 years....

Additional note, the tested networks are 802.11b/g not n. So should be fine......

Since this HALF BUILT windows phone 7 SW does not have other useful menus that allow me to explore a bit further in the phone. All I can do is just restart wifi, phone.....I do not want to reset..BTW, the SW does not offer reset setting option...only reset whole phone.....?

Possible solution:

1. I have read through this forum. Looks like it is possible to play with the registry files (to remove some of the wifi profiles)?

2. When I get home, I will change my home router to the SSIDs that the phone might have connected to and delete them when they pop up to free some space. This way, I should be able to verify my theory!

I have tried to change my home network SSID to those the phone had previously remembered and made some discovery.

Basically the phone is able to connect to thos old SSID given they are unsecured. I was also able to delete those profiles...

However, here is the however, after deleting several old profiles, I still was not able to connect to new wifi network...And what was worse, after restarting the phone, I cannot connect to the previous SSID I have just deleted....

Basically, the phone has stopped accepting new Wifi profiles....This is some serious software bug.

edit: and how do you know this isn't device specific?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kapanak:
The OP is correct. There is no way to delete remembered wifi networks without actually being in its vicinity. I have had this problem. Sometimes, a soft reset fixes the problem. Other times, I delete the network, then try reconnecting. Other times, if the router is accessible, a quick power rest fixes the problem. Also, sometimes, connecting to another network, deleting it, and then reconnecting back to the desired network solves the problem.

However, there are times that the wifi simply refuses to connect no matter what.
